Arizona is full of great motorcycle rides, but one of the best-kept secrets in the state is also one of the curviest, least traveled federal highways in the country: The Devil’s Highway. Featuring over 400 curves in 123 miles, US Route 191 (aka, the Coronado Trail Scenic Byway) is a thrilling ride for an experienced rider. This ride’s been on my bucket list for years, so I decided to couple it with a bucket list destination: Pie Town, New Mexico. You already know what we're eating today...PIE!

Great ride! Thanks for making these videos-stay safe ✌
Thanks for watching 😎🤙
From Ontario Canada, I spent 4 hrs. on that amazing ride. No traffic but cows on the road! Best ride I think so far! It's just so FAR!
Thank you so much for highlighting Arizona in a very fun video. I just wanted to share with you that I rode to Douglas Az and picked up US 191 spur that begins at the International Border and rode it north to the routes end at the International Border with Canada in Morgan MT and crossed into Saskatchewan at Monchy.
Nice!!!
Never heard the term tar snakes before! Good one
Love that road - I came the opposite way from Denver, down to Albuquerque and across by Pie Town.
We took the the highway once encountered wind, hail and rain that makes for a good story. Loved your video
Oh I bet that was quite the adventure!! lol! thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it :)
Love your videos! Hope you’ll be at KRiver next month.
I will be at a wedding many miles away from there! Enjoy the campout!
That ride looks great. Definitely on the to do list. 🤘⚡️🤘✨
It's a good one for sure!
I am new to your channel great video keep them coming be safe
Thanks for watching, and, welcome!!
Great video thanks for all the information. The pie looked awesome
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
That was cool!
Thanks for watching!!
Stunning video & filming! We Go hiking up KP Cienega - Apache trail - but seeing the view from the "back of the bike" - is AMAZING! Many thx! Enjoy Everyone! x
Just listened to your Five Dirty Bikers podcast. 👍🏻 Very cool. Some beautiful views this ride. That pie place looks amazing.
Awesome! And yes, that pie was worth the ride!!!
Just love pie, enough said.
Same! :)
Did Devils Highway in 2019 stayed a extra day in Springerville Reeds Historic Lodge just to Recover I've rode alot of twisted roads but 191 tested my skill I say without a doubt its the Hardest Route out there . An I rode phantom canyon road in your Colorado
thats some solid rideing just for pie lol job well done love ya vids cheers from Down Under
& keep Ya Knee's in Da Breeeezzzzeeeeeee.........
Haha this is exactly how I do most of my rides. I'm crazy lol! Thanks for watching :)
It's great to see people discover that there;s so much more to Arizona than just desert.
Haha beeeeeen knowing that for over a decade!!
Rock Spring Cafe. Right outside of Phoenix. They have some of the best handmade pies in AZ. There's another place, too, coming in from Utah.
Rock springs is a classic!
@ridetofood
And the food is pretty good too, but the pies are amazing!!!
Love your videos. I particularly like that you know the history of the places.
Gotta love a history lesson or two! :) Thanks for watching!
Still loving your videos and story telling. I would definitely ride 500 miles for pie.
Thanks for being here and watching the vids! :)
The tar snakes!
Soooo many of them! Thankful it wasn't 120 degrees on that ride, lol!
I see you ride a european pipe, Red Thunder. Great choice :) how do you like it?
Love it!!
That pie looks amazing. I literally opened my mouth as you put that first bite of pie in your mouth. Yum.
lol! thanks for watching
I just did Devils Highway 4 weeks ago and was not that impressed. I’ve been wanting to do it for the last 40 year and finally did the loop in one day, Phx, Sanford, Eager, Payson and back home. 542 mile loop. The road is rough and torn up pretty bad. The run from Morenci to Hannigan Meadow is 2 hrs of under 25mph. After Hannigan Meadow the road gets really smooth and more high speed bends and corner. 30-40 min of 50-60mph is really nice. If you really want a nice road to take in AZ, take 89 into Prescott or 89a into Jerome. Much nicer roads.
I’ve ridden them all! Yup, the roads in terrible condition. Congrats on crossing it off your list 🤙
I can't fit all of this in my mouth. BOOM, GONE. LOL Tar snakes AKA Squigglies per my wife's interpretation. She HATES the Squiggly feeling on her Motorsickle goin around corners especially when its really warm. I tell her that is just Creative Cornering
creative cornering, lol!
Did you get a patch when you got gas in Alpine that said you rode the Devil's Hwy? I rode and got mine. I ride a Honda Goldwing F6B. Nice video, great camera views of your ride, nice bike. I just subscribed so I can watch more. Stay safe and keep the rubber side down.
Thanks for watching! No, I don’t collect stickers or patches. Only memories and GB of footage to create videos. 🙌🤣
Very cool I just found your channel today because flip na mentioned you, ride to food anyway excellent channel hope you keep making content I know it takes a lot of work but your doing Good 👍 I have a V Twin cruiser but recently switched to a Triumph Tiger adventure bike yes I’m getting old I know LOL oh but I still have the V Twin as well 🤪
Those tigers are awesome bikes!! New videos are on the way. I just finished my final road trip of the season. 😎🤙
Blueberry pie > all other pies. Change my mind.
To each their own! This one was pretty dang good....but blueberry is still not my fave. hahaha
I loved this ride many years ago (not so many tar-snakes??) and arrived at the Morenci mine after dark and in a thick fog (low cloud). Dipping into a series of sharp downhill turns in a cloud in the dark was more than my previous experience had prepared me for. Going NOBO in daylight looks way more promising.
Aren't you lady and suppose eat smaller mouthfuls.. Hahaa, the pie looks awesome... 😊
woops!
Very cool video. Planning an iron butt ride next summer from California to pie town. Thanks for sharing.
Niiiice! If I had any advice on that, I'd say be sure to do the second stint of it in the daylight. once you start to climb up out of western AZ and into the mountains of eastern AZ, the deer and other animals get a bit bigger and more frequent at night. That'll be a fun trip! :)
More people needs to find your shit because your videos are amazing!
Thank you! Every comment, like, and share helps this channel grow. :) slowly but surely, lol!
we ride to pie all the time. only about 40 miles for me. but in Eugene Indiana. they have some of the best pie at covered bridge restaurant
Nice! I’ll have to add that to my map. 😎 thanks for watching!
Staci, Thanks for taking us along. The views are amazing. Your Pie looked delicious.
I'll definitely be going back to PieTown for another pie one day! it was great! lol! thanks for tuning in, always! :)
Anticipation is the greatest joy 😊
I really enjoy your videos. Your videos motivate me to get on My Mistress and ride around in Arizona. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! :)
great video enjoyed thanks for showing new road to discover!
It's a good one! Thanks for watching :)
I’m so excited to find your channel!!! At 42, I’ve only been riding for 6 months but your videos are inspiring me to see (and eat) what the US actually has to offer! I’m planning for May 2022 and am thinking The Grand Canyon from South Carolina. Thank you!
That will be such a fun trip!!!! Stoked for you!!! Thanks for following along on this channel :)
It's funny that some of the most awesome scenery in your video were probably times that you were "white knuckled" while riding. The no guard rail parts would have had me riding at a snails pace. Godspeed
There's no guard rails on the entire road, so it definitely keeps you on edge the entire time! lol thanks for watching! :)
how do you find or pick your food destinations? thanks, and love your channel.
Google maps and/or word of mouth! Thanks for watching :)
Great video! The wife I and I have ridden that many times. HWY 180 just over into New Mexico that parallels 191 is in MUCH better condition and is a beautiful ride as well! Ride safe and eat well! 🏍👍🏻🇺🇸
Oh good to know! I definitely want to ride highway 180 down to silver city next time! Thanks for the heads up 😎🤙
Oh wow you have me checking out the trip on google maps gonna have to add that ride toy list
Haha rad!! It's a great trip. You'll enjoy it!
Wow great channel. I just found it. A new Sub.
Thanks for watching! :)
Way cool ride! 🇺🇸
I really enjoy your tone and pace for the narrative portion. You made feel like even a chili cheese burrito from Taco Bell could be worth a full day ride! 🍺
hahahahahhaha I love it. thank you!
Awesome video as always 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you! 😊
Wow! That pie had my mouth watering👍
It was worth every mile and hairpin turn to get to it! :)
I've done that ride from Fenix a couple tymes..the loose gravel on 666 will make u grip a lil tighter....thanks
Me and a Brother rode it a couple years back. Raining the entire way in approx 40°-50°, had a steak dinner and stayed at Hannagan Meadow Lodge. I saw 2 Mexican Wolves that crossed the road right in front of me about 7 miles north of the mine, what a road in the rain! Just beautiful. Amazing video greatly appreciate your work. Ride on! 👊🏍️
Me and six friends rode Devil's Highway a few years back, and once you're up on the mountain the scenery is beautiful all the way to Alpine. Still haven't made it to Pie Town but it's on the list!
Agreed! Definitely check out PieTown if you ever get the chance. There isn't much there other than pie and a free campground, but, that's a great combo if you ask me! haha. thanks for watching! :)
Once again another Kick-Ass Video ! Keep 'em coming ! We love them !
Thank ya!!! :)
Now we want pie. Damn it!!
I would totally ride 500 miles for Pie
foodie moto adventures are LIFE! hahaha! glad you get it. thanks for watching! :)
I wish i was young again all my adventures are now just a memory in my mind never to be repeated. But From watching your video i made the right choice in Alpine at a fork in the road by going to Silver City .
ya ur having too much fun,keep it up
haha that's always the goal! thanks for watching :)
Awesome ride!! Yes, I would ride 500 miles for pie, especially a pie that looks as good as that one!! I've been up to Morenci mine a few times, work related, but never had the pleasure of going there on my bike. I hope to do that now that I'm retired and have the time. I agree that roads can be very intense and certainly require due diligence while riding!
So stoked this was my first real tour last April on my brand new Road Glide ST, tons of snow at Alpine, from Taos, incredible Road!!!
I'm gonna have to do that one. Gonna have two feet of snow before I get my bike back up here .
7:39 Bear Wallow Cafe in Alpine has an awesome variety of delicious pies 200 yards from where you are right here.
Always great videos and info, Staci! From the looks of that pie, it was definitely worth 500 miles. In the wind at least ; )
haha! yeah, I would do that entire ride all over again to eat there, except next time i'll call ahead so I can get real food ordered before the kitchen closes. hah! thanks for watching :)
@@ridetofood always 😄
Another Awesome Video. We got got back from a motorcycle trip to Yellowstone. We got to see a grizzly eating a bison carcass. A trip that was inspired by you. Thank you!
WIIIILD! So cool! Thanks for letting me be a part of that adventure in one way or another!
this looks rowdy and delicious!!! gravel, hairpins, and cliffs.......... hooray for PIE!!!
🙌😎
Lol i was the 666th like on this video
NAILED IT!
Great vid! That pie looked delicious 🤤
It was worth the ride! :) Thanks for watching!
That was my fav ride when living in AZ from 97-03. Took many trips up there from Gilbert on multiple bikes (BMW R1100GS, Honda VFR800, Honda CBR929RR) and with multiple friends staying at Alpine most of the time. The food in Alpine was always a bummer though lol...
lol! ive heard there's a cafe or two there worth checking out...but I had pie on my mind (obviously lol!) thanks for watching :)
I'm riding to Alpine on Friday. First time going "up" 191. I've ridden south a few times previously. Looking forward to the "better" direction.
You had my mouth watering for pie! I'm heading to Boulder the following week and stopping off in NM at a friend's. Was looking forward to grabbing a pie. Unfortunately, I'm riding on Wednesday and according to their website they're closed Tues and Wed... Maybe on the way back to Mesa.
Keep it rubber side down.
Nice! Hope the ride was a blast! Yeah, their days of operation are a little finicky but, everyone's gotta have a day off, right? haha. Hopefully you'll be able to make it out there on the next trek!
1 big bite well deserved. Sweet video
haha yesss! thanks for watching!
Great Video, parts of the Devils' Highway would make my butt pucker, but the scenery looked great. If you take too big of a bite, that just means whatever you're eating is that good. Thanks
Thanks for watching! :)
i rode that road ,great twisties , we stayed in Alpine great ride and place to eat and stay!!
New Sub here, that was an awesome ride, I surely due miss The New Mexico landscape. Was stationed at White Sands back in the 1980’s and use to ride up though Ruidoso to Carrizozo.
I've heard that ride is amazing! I havent been able to get out there yet, though. Thanks for watching! :)
US 191 is probably the greatest motorcycle road that nobody knows about. I think we saw 6 cars the entire ride....and a cow in the road....and some elk crossing the road. We rode SB to Morenci. When I was done, I was just exhausted from all the shifts. But it was totally worth it. I had a smile stuck on my face.
Haha awesome! Glad you enjoyed it as well!
Our trip to Arizona was cancelled this year! but we will be back! Thanks for sharing, new subscriber!
AZ will be there when you're ready! :) Thanks for watching!
Another great video with awesome photagraphy. And it was great to meet you and her two wheels at Chicago IMS.
Great meeting you, too! Thanks for all of the kind words. :)
Absolutely shouda stopped for food in alpine, actually a really good restaurant run by a sweet elderly couple amd their dogs. Amazing ride though genuinely think it is netter than the dragon, less traffic and incredible scenery the entire way
Wish there was time but as you could tell from the video I was on a bit of a time crunch! Lol. There’s always next time! And I agree...i think the dragon is way overrated. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your video. Please check out my ride through Zion National Park. I think you will enjoy the video.
Thanks! Thats a great National Park :)
OK, you must stop making good videos so I can stop binge watching. I was there Sept 2020 after leaving PHX, Prescott, Pinetop, then Pie Town. I was stuck in my tent for 2 days while it rained nonstop. When it slowed down the only good weather was Silver City NM so that where I went. I never did Devil's Highway. Now I wish I did. You have great content and very professionally done videos. Thank You.
Oh wow! That sounds like quite the adventure with plenty of pros and cons lol! I hear the ride from Pie Town to Silver City is great, though! Thanks for watching, new video just went live!! :)
Great video as usual. I am doing my week long trip to Arkansas next week, thanks to your video inspiration.
Awesome!! Enjoy!
Ya I was out there from GA a few years ago and experienced the same condition though had a lot of fun still talk about it. Ride on and have fun.
Nice! Glad you enjoyed it as well. Thanks for watching!
I live on 191 and could have given you an update before you rode. The recent chipseal is horrible and the amount of people that have crossed the line and ran me off the road I can't count. I ride daily here in eastern AZ.
I can only imagine how ridiculous most people are that drive those roads....gotta love scenic roads but also, always gotta be on your "toes" for the dummy making a tiktok video while driving
Loved your video! I grew up in the area, and frequently camped off of 191 near Hannigan Meadow. Now we go up that way to get our Christmas trees! Such a fun place!
Nice!!! Thanks for watching! I definitely want to camp in the area next time I'm around.
Wow ! Now that’s a ride . A very interesting route that I’m not familiar with. . From Phoenix I’ve gone to Globe then headed north on a beautiful road . I think it’s 60 which goes up to Snowflake area and I’ve gone into New Mexico from there . .
Really enjoyed your ride .
Enjoy Taos . I was there about five years ago. Beautiful area . May I suggest while in that area go visit Taos Ski area . You don’t actually have to go to the ski area it’s just a beautiful scenic drive towards it . You’ll be glad you did if you haven’t been there before.
Highway 60 from globe is awesome! Goes through the Salt River Canyon. And that ride through Taos is beautiful as well. I go there a few times a year to see friends and family. :)
A bit of history: US Hwy 666 ran from Gallup, NM through Cortez, CO to Dove Creek, UT where it ended. (I traveled it for years before the name change and since) US 666 was named as such because it was is a spur off of Route 66 now I-40 beging at Gallup. US Hwy 666 was renamed to US 491 due to some superstition (political correctness). US Hwy 191 has been designated that for as long as I can remember. US 666/491 intersect US 191 at Dove Creek where 491 ends.
Yep!
That look so nice and the road look like something that you don't drive at 65 or 70 mph, take your time driving it and good that you got the full pie so you eat a little than and have the other half for supper or breakfast, take care and ride safe lot of nut out on the road.
Thanks for watching! :)
Would you say this road was worse than the 3 twisted sisters in Texas…? Because every time I ride the twisted sisters, even as recent as June 2024, I swear I’ll never Ride it again, because the road conditions are so poor…
its a different type of poor condition... I don't think the twisted sisters are bad lol, they're just paved with very coarse concrete. This is just filled with tar snakes and loose gravel. so yes, I'd say this is worse.
AZ may not have Grizzlies but it does have black bears. These can get huge, 600 pounds. Use a bear-bag to put foods and anything that smells “sweet” like soaps/shampoo/deodorant that’s vanilla, oatmeal, etc. A bear bag is a bag you put that stuff into, and toss a line over a tree branch and suspend your stuff in a tree away from your immediate camp/sleep area. ZERO foods/flavored drinks in your tent, don’t even leave candy bar wrapper in your tent.
Yes. You are correct on all of these things. Thanks for leaving helpful tips for others :) Don't forget clothes you cooked your food in as well. NOTHING ever goes in the tent that has a scent! :)
Damn it girl, now I have someplace else I want to ride to…
PLUS, you had me at pie!
Nom Nom Nom
Edit to add I got my Arkansas travel booklets the other day. You’re kind of a big deal with the motorcycle touring booklet! Nice job!
It’s totally worth the ride to get there, no matter which direction ya come from! 😊 thanks for the kind words are the Arkansas guide!!!
Great , beautiful views, gorgeous bike, high styling adventuring, wonderful host, and perhaps one of the best, creative titles for a video I've seen in a long while😛! Ride safe out there! Glad you enjoyed your pie!
Thank ya!
Thanks for the memories ! My very favorite ride of all tmie ,I've riden 191 north to Alpine then over to NM to go south through Glenwood then 78 back to AZ . Very nice ! But not for beginner's lol.
Haha, definitely not!
I grew up in Springerville. There's a reason you didn't feature that town in this video... haha. Next time you're there, take a ride to Greer and Big Lake. Molly Butler's or Rendezvous for dinner.
Haha I didn’t plan to stop there in all honesty. Wasn’t even on the radar
Definitely one of Arizona's best kept secrets. A favorite ride for bikers, for sure.
Agreed! :)
@@ridetofood My husband was born and raised in Morenci and we raised our kids there.
@@meon3wheels Oh, wow! That's pretty neat. I dont know much about that area other than what I've read on google regarding the mine's history and saw while riding through. I feel like it would've been really interesting to see it "back in the day"!
@@ridetofood My husband just retired from the mine last year. You can find pictures of the old town of Morenci on RUclips. It was unique. BTW, we love to watch your videos!!!
@@meon3wheels Thanks for watching, y'all!!! Hope y'all enjoyed this one. :)
You did have pie at the original pie place in Pie Town. The original is called the Pie-O-Neer just 1/4 mile east of where you stopped. Which I think is a good thing. Every time I pass through Pie Town I stop for pie. Last year I stopped in and the pie was not very good, this year the pie was a little better but every time I stop they do not have apple pie. The Pie-O-Neer changed hands a few years ago and since then the pies have taken a step down in quality. Thanks for the video.
thanks for watching!
Hey! You passed through my hometown! Superior! I ride through devils canyon to get to work, every day!
Neat!
US highway 491 not 191 is the devils highway. It was called highway 666 because it was the 6th road off of us 66
Thanks for watching!
What's better than good pie ? More good pie !! LOL !! Great vid as always :-)
Yessss! haahaha. thanks for watching! :)
I’m in Ohio and that pie looks worth the ride alone! Can’t wait for my wife to be distracted so I can escape on my two wheels ;)
LOL! That would be quite the adventure from Ohio, and I can safely say that it would definitely be worth it. :) Thanks for watching!
Cool ride 😎
thank you! :)
For real girl, an I need take a ride that way
yes I would ride 500 miles for pie. I have ridden with a group called the long riders and was asked to ride for hot dogs one time.. Yup Voo Doo Hot Dogs in Tallahassee Fl I live in Port Charlotte Fl. The ride is over 367 miles one way. So the round trip was over 700 miles in one day to eat a hot dog...
That’s my kind of party! Hahahah. I’m going to have to look that hot dog spot up!
Do you have your route in gpx to share? Thanks!!! And regards from Los Cabos, México
I don’t. Sorry! 😅
New sub. Gotta love the algorithm huh. Thx for the ride. Be safe. Medicine Hat,Alberta,Canada
Thanks for subbing!! :)
